Our founders
The Sisters of Charity (Grey Nuns) of Alberta were the Catholic founders of the Edmonton General Hospital in 1895 and still operated the General in the 1980s through a board of directors and management team. In 1988, the Edmonton General Hospital’s acute care services were transferred to the newly opened Grey Nuns Community Hospital.
The Sisters were very involved in ensuring that the new public health facility would carry their tradition of caring for the most vulnerable. They were instrumental in including palliative care, mental health programs and care for mothers and their babies. Operation of the Grey Nuns has now transitioned to Covenant Health, and, proudly, all three of these areas remain a focus.
Today, the Grey Nuns Community Hospital provides a full range of services including a 24-hour emergency department, general and vascular surgery, intensive and cardiac care, children's health, women's health, diagnostics and mental health. The tertiary palliative care unit is world-renowned for its delivery of care and teaching practices.
